Reaction Steps

2.00 g (8.2 mmol) of ferrocenylacetic acid are dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol. 0.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid is added. The mixture is brought to reflux for 1 hour. After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured into 100 ml of ice-cold water. The product is extracted with 3 times 40 ml of ether. The ethereal phase is first washed with water (2 times 40 ml) and then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. 2.22 g of ethyl ferrocenylacetate are obtained. The yield of the reaction is 100%.
